Radical conceptual art revisited: a social and political perspective from the East and the South.
It is a project which objective is:
To open the discussion about the specificities of conceptual art practices, which are/were related to the experience under the conditions of political and social oppression and violence/censorship.
To implement an active recovery of the artistic and cultural patrimony of these practices looking for complicity in context and spaces of the actual artivism.
